Massless type IIB spectrum
ID: massless-type-iib-spectrum
The NS-NS fields are a graviton, Kalb–Ramond field and dilaton, with physical polarizations. The RR fields are , with polarizations; the five-form field strength of is self-dual. Two same-chirality Majorana-Weyl gravitini contribute polarizations, and two Majorana-Weyl dilatini of the opposite chirality contribute . Potential components, dual potentials and physical polarizations are different counts.
